At a loss for Mac on my homebuilt PC
I have a homebuilt MSI K9A2 CF motherboard.
AMD Athlon 64X2 5000+ AMD 790X Chipset Nvidea 9800 GT main card Nvidea 8800 GT secondary card I get the install of lawlessppc and Leo4all to go all the way through the install process, and yet at restart both hang at almost the same time... all the other computers in the house are Apple except my Tower. How do i make this work? my next upgrade for my tower was supposed to be a new quad core processor but if this wont run a dual core i am not ready to try quad core, i would prefer to just have it running mac.

My guess is because of the chipset. How did you install... IDE or SATA DVD drive? what is the hard drive... IDE or SATA?

Patching isn't what "you" need to do... its what the installer should have done during the install if the AMD Patch was applied correctly. I'm wondering if you customized properly during the install. Can you tell us what you selected? have you tried any other distros... iPC would be the best option for you right now with the new VOODOO kernel in place.

I will boot it up again and check my Bios but i honestly didnt change anything in the bios from the moment i started the install, and there wasnt any "choices" during the install save what drive to write to.
and thank you for all your help, it is invaluable.

at the begining of the install you will see a customise button at one point click that and it will give you options on which drivers to use

When you get into the installer and select the drive to install to there should be a "Customize" button. You want to make sure that you only select what you are sure will work as it is better to not install a driver then install the wrong one or multiple drivers in a category. You should find the AMD patches in these options.
